Restriction of irreducible unitary representations of Spin(N,1) to parabolic subgroups

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain explicit branching laws for all irreducible unitary representations of $\Spin(N,1)$ restricted to a parabolic subgroup $P$. The restriction turns out to be a finite direct sum of irreducible unitary representations of $P$. We also verify Duflo's conjecture for the branching law of tempered representations of $\Spin(N,1)$ with respect to a parabolic subgroup $P$. That is to show: in the framework of the orbit method, the branching law of a tempered representation is determined by the behavior of the moment map from the corresponding coadjoint orbit. A few key tools used in this work include: Fourier transform, Knapp-Stein intertwining operator, Casselman-Wallach globalization, Zuckerman translation principle, du Cloux's results for smooth representations of semi-algebraic groups.
